Every Single Night

Alsander |
Alsander was doing his nightly patrol, his route set by Erani and Surreal. Surreal was down with a minor ache in her paw from stepping on a shard of rock that had cut rather deeply between her toes a week ago, it seemed. Apparently, she hadn?t hardly noticed it until now, and it was infected. Erani had given his cousin a stern talking to about paying attention to ones health, and put her to den rest. That was a few days ago, and the worst had passed. Tomorrow, Surreal would be up and about on light duty. In time for himself and Erani to take off for Ludicael. Erani had protested at first, but when her entire family; Surreal, Cormalin, Alsander himself, Sarak, Chrysanthe, and Caerul; had ganged up on her like a well-trained court like his foster parents had talked about, she had relented. So tomorrow, he?d be travel with his aunt to Ludicael, and, unbeknownst to her, Chrysanthe and Odette would intercept her and escort her to Ebony, a pack he heard had just taken up residence in the east. He hoped she?d be fit for the trip, after her illness. The trip to Ludicael was a long one, at least two days at a great clip with no resting. And he?d be requesting rest stops often, if he had his way about it. However, a sweet call sang through the moonless, starlit night. His head jerked up, eyes searching as his heart leapt a few beats. Io? Unconsciously, his heavy tail began waving through the air behind him, and his paws were already taking him to her. At a run. However, as he saw her ghostly figure settled beside the lake, he forced himself to slow down, wary of startling her with over enthusiasm. So as he came to her side, it was at a walk, while he tried to master his heart rate. ?Lady Io. It?s good to see you well.? Irish brogue laden baritone was warm and gentle, as he tried to quell his tail speed, as his rump met the earth. Mismatched green and gold eyes peered at her from either side of his white blaze as he tried to see if she was hurt at all. Why was she here, in any case? Was everyone alright where she lived? |
